The Magical Mimics In Oz

In The Magical Mimics in Oz by Jack Snow based on L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz, Princess Ozma, and Glinda the Good are planning to leave Oz to attend the Grand Council of the fairy queen Lurline, held in the Forest of Burzee every 200 years. Dorothy Gale is surprised when Ozma appoints her to rule Oz during their absence, but Ozma reminds Dorothy that she is a princess of Oz. Excerpt: "Toto," called Princess Ozma of Oz, as a small black dog trotted down the corridor past the open door of her study in the Royal Palace of the Emerald City, "Toto, will you do me a favor?" "Certainly," answered the little dog, his bright eyes regarding the Princess questioningly. "What can I do for your Majesty?" Ozma smiled. "I wonder if you would go to Dorothy's room and ask her to join me here as soon as possible." "That'll be easy, Ozma," said Toto, "I was just on my way to see Dorothy. It's time for our morning romp in the garden." "Well," laughed Ozma, "I shall keep Dorothy for only a few minutes, then she can join you in the garden for your play." "Thank you, Ozma," replied Toto as he turned and trotted down the corridor leading to Dorothy's suite of rooms."

With Ozma and Glinda gone, will anyone notice that Dorothy and the Wizard haven't quite been themselves? And can Ozma's cousin Ozana and the real Dorothy get to the Emerald city before it is completely overthrown by legions of shape-shifting body-snatchers? Then accompany Tote, a wooden outcast from Ozana's picture-perfect village of Pineville, as he and Whitefinger the ex-woodcutter struggle to understand what the only flower ever to be banned from the Story Blossom Garden may or may not be trying to tell them in Nicolai's 2012 illustrated novella, Tote's Blemished Blossom. This book contains the original, seventy page, fully illustrated, novella Tote's Blemished Blossom, written by Adam Nicolai and illustrated by Ardian Hoda. The large 6in by 9in format print version, and all the ebook versions, are complete with every drawing from the original publication remastered and presented in crisp high-resolution.

This is a new release of the original 1946 edition.

The Magical Mimics in Oz by Jack Snow Excerpt r strange habit of constantly changing their shapes. They shifted restlessly from one form to another. Since they were creatures of evil, the shapes they assumed were all forms of the blackest evil and dread. Even as Queen Lurline watched, fascinated by the strange spectacle, the Mimics shifted and changed and flitted from one loathsome shape to another. A monster bird with leathery wings and a horned head dropped to the ground, and in another second assumed the squat body of a huge toad with the head of a hyena, snarling with laughter. A crawling red lizard all of ten feet in length turned into a giant butterfly with black wings and the body of a serpent. A great, green bat with wicked talons alighted on a ledge not far from Queen Lurline and in an instant changed to a mammoth, hairy creature with the body of a huge ape and the head of an alligator.
